The new Lush on Main is well turned out, but Dark. The walls are covered with lots of mirrors bounce the limited light around. With a cool flame that twists upfront Lush is working for a very hip metropolitan feel. It seems like it just might work.
The service was solid, but I was just about the only customers Thursday night. Hopefully with some advertising and promotion this martini bar will get a crowd. A few uppies scattered about would help the decor work.
On a side note, as Boise grows and we get some tourists dollars, you would think some of these more “big time†urban concepts would start to work. So far the high end , high concept locations like and Andre’s and even Pair have struggled a bit to combine Boise’s traditional sensibilities with all the hip movers and shakers. Maybe Lush can help drag us into the next century of hip!
